摘要： A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a substantially L-shaped silicide element forming a contact is disclosed. The substantially L-shaped silicide element, inter alia, reduces contact resistance and may allow increased density of CMOS circuits. In one embodiment, the substantially L-shaped silicide element includes a base member and an extended member, wherein the base member extends at least partially into a shallow trench isolation (STI) region such that a substantially horizontal surface of the base member directly contacts a substantially horizontal surface of the STI region; and a contact contacting the substantially L-shaped silicide element. The contact may include a notch region for mating with the base member and a portion of the extended member, which increases the silicide-to-contact area and reduces contact resistance. Substantially L-shaped silicide element may be formed about a source/drain region, which increases the silicon-to-silicide area, and reduces crowding and contact resistance.

摘要： A semiconductor structure includes a base semiconductor substrate having a doped region located therein, and an epitaxial region located over the doped region. The semiconductor structure also includes a final isolation region located with the doped region and the epitaxial region. The final isolation region has a greater linewidth within the doped region than within the epitaxial region. A method for fabricating the semiconductor structure provides for forming the doped region prior to the epitaxial region. The doped region may be formed with reduced well implant energy and reduced lateral straggle. The final isolation region with the variable linewidth provides a greater effective isolation depth than an actual trench isolation depth.

摘要： A method for providing a dual stress memory technique in a semiconductor device including an nFET and a PFET and a related structure are disclosed. One embodiment of the method includes forming a tensile stress layer over the nFET and a compressive stress layer over the pFET, annealing to memorize stress in the semiconductor device and removing the stress layers. The compressive stress layer may include a high stress silicon nitride deposited using a high density plasma (HDP) deposition method. The annealing step may include using a temperature of approximately 400-1200° C. The high stress compressive silicon nitride and/or the anneal temperatures ensure that the compressive stress memorization is retained in the pFET.

摘要： The present invention relates to a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate having one or more device regions. Each device region comprises at least a base semiconductor substrate layer and a semiconductor device layer with a buried insulator layer located therebetween, while the semiconductor device layer is supported by one or more vertical insulating pillars. The vertical insulating pillars each preferably has a ledge extending between the base semiconductor substrate layer and the semiconductor device layer. The SOI substrates of the present invention can be readily formed from a precursor substrate structure with a “floating” semiconductor device layer that is spaced apart from the base semiconductor substrate layer by an air gap and is supported by one or more vertical insulating pillars. The air gap is preferably formed by selective removal of a sacrificial layer located between the base semiconductor substrate layer and the semiconductor device layer.
